There’s something so romantic about high school sweethearts tying the knot. Mary and Thax planned an intimate, garden-inspired wedding weekend at Pop’s Castle on the Rappahannock River, with the sweetest touch—Thax’s parents handled all the catering for their son’s big day! It couldn’t have been better—elegant, iconic, and laid back.
Timeless Elegance Meets Riverside Charm
Mary was absolutely glowing in her timeless dress, Roxanne—a floral jacquard ball gown with a strapless bodice and dreamy circle skirt. The romantic design was made for twirling—which Mary did plenty of! Her bridesmaids looked lovely in flowy pastel neutrals, while Thax was dapper in his white dinner jacket and bow tie. Perhaps best of all was their adorable pup Penny in her little neck ruffle!
